St. Francis - Charlie Villanueva moved into the starting lineup last week and was making his fourth start of the season on Monday night.
So his disappointment was understandable, after the 6-foot-11 forward sprained his right ankle in the third quarter of the Bucks' 96-89 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Villanueva was wearing a big boot on his right foot at practice today, but he said he would try to return by Feb. 20 when the Bucks play their first game after the league all-star break.
"I'm going to take the break and use it, stay off it, rest it as much as I can," Villanueva said. "I'm looking forward to playing in the Detroit game."
Villanueva's absence means that 7-foot rookie Yi Jianlian will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday night's home game against New Orleans, the Bucks' final game before the break.
Villanueva attributed his improved play to regular minutes he has received as a starter.
"It's a matter of playing," Villanueva said. "Before, there was too much on my mind. I was thinking too much. I just wasn't playing basketball. When you start, you have a different mentality. This league is about confidence, man."
